I put an f/s add on craigslist for my set. The whole time I thought they were repros until I took them off tonight to mount a different set of wheels. The inside of the caps all have a GM stamp and the rims themselves do also. How much do these sell for now a days? :confused:
If I remember correctly, I think I saw "AZ" somewhere on the rim also if that means anything.

AZ is the code that denoted wheels are 15x8 with about 4" backspace, used on 69-82 Corvettes. The wheels seem to be quite common except here. I have been looking for some, but do not want to pay high shipping costs. Prices vary depending on condition of wheels, rings and caps. I wouldn't pay more than $350 for a set. Others might.

This price sounds pretty close to me as well.

Being that they were mounted on a car they aren't NOS (New Old Stock). I believe what you meant was OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer). Big difference in percieved value. The 15 x 8's in useable as is condition bring about 300 a set round these parts.

Those Corvette wheels are nice inexpensive alternatives for Chevelles. I have a set on my '66. Best part is they can support 4 wheel disc brakes due to the backspacing. They look nice on my car and maintain a period correct look.

Isn't that the way it goes. I guess I'll just buy a set of reproductions, I am tired of looking and the numbers are not important for my project.
